Ophthalmology Services

The eye care experts at St. Louis Children's Hospital work together to provide the most comprehensive care possible. Whenever necessary, pediatric ophthalmologists consult with other physicians, technicians, surgeons and specialists in a multidisciplinary approach. The Children's Eye Center nurses and technicians are well-trained professionals dedicated to providing the best care available, all with the comforting touch of those who are committed to helping children.

The Children's Eye Center treats visual disorders that occur in infants and children, from refractive error and eye crossing to cataracts and tumors. Evaluation early in infancy and childhood is strongly encouraged, especially for children who were premature, have developmental delay or have a family history of an eye disorder.
